Ingredients
  

4 cups seedless watermelon, diced and frozen

1/2 cup granulated sugar (adjust for sweetness)

1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

1 teaspoon lime zest

A pinch of salt

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prep the Watermelon: Start by preparing your watermelon. Cut it into small cubes, ensuring that the seeds are removed, and then freeze them for at least 4 hours, or until thoroughly frozen.

    Blend the Ingredients: In a blender or food processor, add the frozen watermelon cubes, granulated sugar, lime juice, lime zest, and a pinch of salt. Blend until you achieve a smooth and creamy texture. If necessary, stop and scrape down the sides to ensure everything blends evenly.

      Taste and Adjust: After blending, taste the mixture. If you prefer it sweeter, feel free to add an extra tablespoon of sugar and blend again until fully combined.

        Freeze the Mixture: Transfer the blended sorbet mixture into an airtight container. Spread it out evenly and smooth the top with a spatula. Cover with a lid or plastic wrap, and place it in the freezer for about 2-3 hours to firm up.

          Scoop and Serve: Once the sorbet is set, use an ice cream scoop to serve into bowls or cones. Optionally, garnish with fresh mint leaves for a refreshing touch.

            Enjoy: Serve immediately for the best texture, or store any leftovers in the freezer for a later treat. If the sorbet becomes too hard, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping.
